Sitting still
so still
big room
listening to his reading
Cold voice
big words
but inside
we're bleeding
Where's the place
for us
the church
for those
who through the night
are looking for before-dawn
almost-light
I recall the pain
what you gain through art
we know that all we have
is ashes
and this night

My heart goes out my body fades
extend my arms please take away
I cannot scream I won't alarm
I swallow hard breathe myself calm
They're back they're back again
All is dark all is to come
a battleground it's just begun
Hissing words don't want to hear
the coldest sweat eyes fill with tears
They're here, I hear again
Birdsong chorus circle round
a titan falls without a sound
desolation view
stories coming true

no more you

Darker nights are drawing in
distant light is drawing me
near
now & here
Don't you know I'd rather be
anywhere at all
abut here
every time I fall
I fall so far
Who's left to pick me up?
Who's left for me to trust ?
Silence says a lot
speaking volumes all I've got
And All
all I'll ever know
Staccato knock familiar sound
I don't know why
we weren't appointed
Fate twists again like it has before
all rhythm lost now nothing's sure
So many times, so cruelly
forever trapped
in minor key
That knock again my blood runs cold
I don't know what I want
I only know what I cannot bring
Myself to do
So I wait, but wait what for ?
The frozen clock?
No more me
And no more you

falling is an art

Yes sometimes I want to fall
'cause falling is an art
I've never felt like this before
please come to hold me tight
And sometimes I want to go
and never see these stars
and never sing these songs
and never touch
the piano keys at night
And sometimes I am high
'cause I don't sleep at all
what if I come to you
what if I told I love
And sometimes I want to die
please come to close my eyes
I've never felt like this before
I wanna die in your arms
